For a second, Chibi is frozen with fear. The wave in the atmosphere made him feel so small. Kuro remained firm while Saya stared off looking ahead. The look on his friends' faces says it all...

They weren't the only ones in this hallway...Someone was here watching them...

An eerie melody fills the air as red spider lilies bloomed everywhere.

Saya: Stay Vigilant Boys. Looks like we got company...

???: La la la la la la~

Kuro: Show yourself...We know you're there...

On cue, the mastermind revealed herself before them. First started with a dark mist swarming towards the two, before she stand a few spaces away.

There she was...with her long black hair and pale skin. Red eyes beaming innocently in the dark but it did not match the crooked grin on her face. Her school uniform matches the one that Mei wears everyday. But her face alone made Kuro see the resemblance in the two. She may seem like an normal school girl. But her sinister aura around her proved otherwise.

Saya: She looks like...Mei...

Chibi: So it's her...(The one Kiyoshi told me about...)

Kuro: Misaki Aishiteru...

Misaki: Oh~! You must be Kuro-kun. It is such a pleasure to meet you. It is an honor to see each other face to face~!

Kuro: Whatever...

Misaki: I've been 'dying' to meet you~! Kyahaha~! Get it? Dying! Because I'm dead...so...you...hehe...

Kuro:......

Chibi:......

Saya:.....

Tough Crowd. Tough Crowd.

Saya: No...Just...No...

Misaki: Oh nevermind. You remind me so much of Kiyoshi. Sure your personalities do not match but...I can also see the resemblance in you two as you can with me and Mei-chan.

Kuro: Of course...Because you're her ancestor...

Chibi: Yeah...So...Misaki was it....

Misaki: Yes~~~?

Her voice almost sounded like a snake there for a second. Quick yet deadly which held venom in them. Just hearing her voice send shivers down the three survivors' spine. 

Chibi: What is your purpose...?

Saya: Yeah. What's the evil plan you got going on? Like some villainess from a novel, you already know why we're here.

Misaki: Aww...I guess no fun for me then.

Kuro: Enough with your games. Talk. Now.

Misaki: So cruel...Unlike Kiyoshi...He was much more nicer.

Kuro:....What is your goal with Mei?

Misaki: Ah. I'm glad you asked, because I was just about to explain myself.

Kuro: So the evil plan. What you gonna do? Take over the school. You technically already did...

Misaki: Of course. Because every villain in a story got to have a plan; an evil plan. Otherwise there's not much of a story...is there?

None of the three said anything. But to confirm her question, Yukime gave a small nod.

Misaki: This is the reason why...

Misaki begin to walk a little towards them as she explained her story.

Misaki: Let me ask you both my own question...Why are humans...so self-destructive...?
